No, I think it's more likely that people that come to yahoo.answers make vague statements instead of asking questions. They also need help spelling. It's plain, not plane. In this situation, intelligent people have no choice but to ask, "what's your point?"

At least we can use the English language "plane old stupid?"
I never knew that Aircraft were considered to have any intelligence least of all to be stupid.

That's "plain" old stupid, not plane... at least we know how to spell! We say "What's your point" because we have limited time to deal with BS and double talk.

I don't know how old you are, but it seems most of the people on Y!A are young, inexperienced and not prepared yet to think outside the box. They firmly believe what they are taught to believe and never go beyond that.
Hopefully, as they grow, so will their ability to reason.

It's not indoctrination when that is the most appropriate response.
"What's your point" (or the clever variants above, kudos) are a shorthand way of saying -- "even if we assume you are correct, what value does your statement have or what kind of response are you looking for".

What is your point? My IQ is 169 & I am not stupid, but you I am not so sure about. If you hatred of US is so strong, sign onto your own country's Q&A. We will not miss you.

They are indoctrinated to be "plain old stupid".

i think you are wondering why Americans ask questions to form their own views rather than eating up whatever is fed to them as their pre-packaged opinion. you should try it.
